YOU GETS TO A CHURCH IN 10:52 CALIFORNIA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHURCHES CLOSE DOWN. 10:57 BUT TELL US ABOUT YOUR OTHER BECAUSE OF PANDEMIC. 11:00 >> TELL US ABOUT YOUR GOD HAD TRAINED THE IN THAT HELPED YOU 11:07 FOR THAT MOMENT? >> I WAS GOING THROUGH OAKWOOD 11:11 AND I ALWAYS LIKE TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AND MANY TIMES I 11:16 QUESTIONED WHY I PUT MYSELF IN CERTAIN PREDICAMENTS SO MY LAST 11:20 YEAR STUDYING AT OAKWOOD I END UP TAKING A MINOR IN 11:23 COMMUNICATIONS AND WHO KNOWS WHY DID THAT TO MYSELF BUT I DID IT 11:26 AND BUT BECAUSE I DID SO I TOOK COURSES THAT ALLOWED ME TOO 11:31 LEARN HOW TO EDIT VIDEOS AND AND TV AND RADIO BROADCASTING AND SO 11:38 I WOULD MAKE VIDEOS AS MY PROJECTS AND NEVER IN MY WILDEST 11:43 DREAMS DID I THINK THAT THAT SCALE HAS THAT KNOWLEDGE WOULD 11:47 COME BACK BECAUSE IN 2020 BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND 11:51 CALIFORNIA CHURCHES BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MOMENT THEY 11:54 SHUT DOWN I HAD THE KNOWLEDGE TO SHOOT VIDEOS AND EDIT VIDEOS AND 12:01 PUT THEM UP SO WHEN CHURCHES SHUT DOWN THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY 12:04 ALREADY HAD A SERVICE. >> GOD DOES NOT WASTE ANYTHING 12:08 THAT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH. I'M SURE YOU ARE WONDERFUL 12:14 OUTREACH PASTOR BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION AND WE WILL 12:17 HAVE A SONG. I FORGOT TO DO THE SONG BUT TELL 12:23 US HOW GOD GAVE YOU THE IDEA FOR SALT SERVICE AND THE LOVE 12:29 TOGETHER. THE OUTREACH. 12:32 AND THE TITLE, ERIC TITLED THE PROGRAM TONIGHT HOME BOUND. 12:42 IT IS A TERM OF HOPE WHEN YOU'RE MINISTERING TO THE UNSHELTERED 12:47 TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I'D YOU ARE BOUND TOWARD HOME BUT TELL 12:53 US HOW DID GOD BURST THROUGH THIS MINISTRY? 12:58 >> WHAT I CAME INTO THE CHURCH AND I WAS LOOKING AROUND THEY 13:03 WERE SO MANY ADVENTIST CHURCHES IN THE ORLANDO AREA AND THEY 13:06 WERE A COUPLE THINGS THAT I WAS NOTICING AND NOT ONLY ME WAS I 13:12 NOTICING THIS BUT MY FRIENDS AS WELL AND ONE IS THE THE CHURCHES 13:16 WERE NOT TOO DOING CONSISTENT OUTREACH AND WHEN I SAY THAT I 13:23 MEAN MEAN IT. THERE WAS SOMETHING TO BE 13:26 QUARTERLY OR ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS SOMETIMES ONCE A YEAR BUT 13:30 NOTHING ON A CONSISTENT BASIS SO WITHOUT CONSISTED MINISTRY HOW 13:35 CAN YOU CREATE A RELATIONSHIP? OR DISCIPLES FOR CHRIST? 13:39 AND BRING PEOPLE TO CHRIST? THAT WAS ONE. 13:42 THE OTHER THING WAS THAT YOUNG ADULT POPULATION WAS PRETTY 13:46 SCARCE AT THAT TIME THERE WAS MAY BE SOME HERE OR THERE AND SO 13:50 I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO CREATE A COMMUNITY WHERE YOUNG ADULTS 13:55 COULD COME TOGETHER OUTSIDE OF CHURCH BUT TO DO SOMETHING 13:58 MEANINGFUL LIKE OUTREACH AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME THE THIRD 14:01 THING WAS TO BE ABLE TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND CREATE 14:05 MEASURABLE IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY. 14:06 THAT WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS IN THE BEGINNING. 14:11 THAT'S ARE IDEA OF STARTING IT AND THEN WE HAD OUTREACH WHERE I 14:16 BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE NOT SURE WHAT GOD IS CALLING THEM TO DO JUST 14:19 TO DO SOMETHING. GO OUT THERE AND TRY TO 14:24 VOLUNTEER AND BE A PART OF ANOTHER MINISTRY BECAUSE THAT IS 14:29 HOW I GOD'S TOTAL AND COMPLETE CONFIRMATION THAT STARTING SALT 14:33 WAS WHAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN AND SO A MONTH AFTER THAT I WAS DOING 14:37 AND OUTREACH AND THEY HAD THIS REALLY IS A REAL GOD EXPERIENCE 14:42 WHILE WE WERE DOING OUTREACH AND IT SPARKED THAT SALT STARTING 14:47 THE NEXT MONTH. >> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 14:53 YOU HAD AN IDEA AND YOU KNOW IT'S COMING FROM GOD SO YOU HAVE 14:56 NO MONEY SO I MEAN THAT IT'S KIND OF HARD TO BUILD A BUILDING 15:06 AND ANYTHING WITHOUT ANYTHING. SO YOU MUST'VE BEEN EXTREMELY 15:11 PASSIONATE KNOWING THAT GOD WAS BEHIND THIS. 15:13 >> YES AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT GOD WAS SO CLEAR THAT THIS 15:18 NEEDED TO BE STARTED BECAUSE ONCE I KNOW GOD WANTS ME TOO DO 15:22 SOMETHING THERE IS NO LOOKING BACK. 15:23 IT'S LIKE YOU JUST MOVE FORWARD AND IF THINGS MESS UP OR WE 15:27 DON'T HAVE MONEY I THINK I OWED MONEY AT THAT TIME I THINK I WAS 15:31 NEGATIVE AT THAT TIME BUT IT KEPT ME GOING GOING AND IT HIT 15:40 THE CAEN GOING -- AND IT KEPT THE TEAM GOING. 15:45 WE'VE HAD AMAZING PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED IN SUCH A 15:48 UNIQUE WAY TO BRING SALT TO WHERE IT IS TODAY AND SO I'M SO 15:52 GRATEFUL TO SEE GOD USE ALL THESE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND MAKE 15:59 IT HAPPEN. >> WHEN THE LORD CALLED ME TOO 16:03 FULL-TIME MINISTRY I HEARD A STILL SMALL VOICE OF THE LORD 16:06 AND WHEN I ACCEPTED HE SAID ALWAYS BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR HAND 16:11 TO THE CLOUD AND TURNED BACK BUT NOT THIS TIME FOR I WILL CUP MY 16:16 HAND OVER YOURS AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT? 16:20 FOR US THE SAME THING. YOU LIKE STEPPED OUT OF THE 16:25 CORPORATE ROLLED AND A PAYING POSITION AND IT WAS HE BELIEVED 16:32 THAT GOD HAD CALLED ME AND I KNEW GOD HAD CALLED ME AND YOU 16:37 KNOW, GOD IS SO GOOD AND GIVING. >> IT'S TOO BAD WE DON'T HAVE 16:41 THREE HOURS BECAUSE I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE 16:44 THINK WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HEARD FROM GOD? 16:47 YOU HEARD DO YOU KNOW I HAVE TO DO THIS. 16:54 NEW KNEW THAT YOU KNEW YOU HEARD GOD. 17:00 YOU KNEW. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE THINKING I 17:04 DON'T HEAR ANYTHING. >> YOU KNOW SOMETHING AND IT'S 17:07 KIND OF LIKE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS PASTOR? 17:10 OUR EXPERIENCE WITH COMMON. WE ALL HAD BEEN WALKING IN A 17:15 CERTAIN WAY AND WE BECAME SEEKERS OF THE CHURCH AND WE GOT 17:20 TO THE WORD AND WE WERE REALLY SEEKING A RELATIONSHIP FROM THE 17:24 LORD AND I THINK THAT IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM GOD THEN HERE 17:30 IT IS. AND THE INTERESTING THING IS AS 17:33 YOU GET TO KNOW THE LORD'S VOICE AND WE WON'T PUT ALL THAT BUT 17:39 GOD TAUGHT ME WHEN I PRAY THAT COMMUNICATION WAS TWO WAYS. 17:43 IT WAS A TWO WAY COMMUNICATION AND TO WAIT TO LISTEN. 17:48 >> AND I WANT TO SAY QUICKLY, BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE ANXIOUS 17:52 AS WELL BUT THE ONE THING THAT ALL THREE OF YOU HAVE USED THE 17:58 SAME I GOT INTO THIS. BINGO. 18:07 IF YOU HAVING PROBLEMS IN YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND 18:09 YOU'RE HAVING AN IDENTITY PROBLEM IT COULDN'T BE BE MAYBE 18:14 IF YOU OPENNESS? MAYBE THE RIGHT WORDS, MAYBE IF 18:17 IT'S IN IN RED THEY WILL JUMP AND CHANGE HER LIFE. 18:21 BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW. 18:26 >> THAT'S ALL I SAY WE WANTS TO HAVE ONE-SIDED CONVERSATIONS. 18:32 THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN ALL WE DO IS PRAY. 18:42 THERE NEEDS TO BE A STUDY OF THE WORD BECAUSE THAT TITLE FOR 18:45 DIALOGUE NOT A MONOLOGUE WITH GOD. 18:49 IT'S LIKE A DUMP TRUCK BACKING UP AND THEN LETTING EVERYTHING 18:52 OUT AND THEN YOU TRY TO RESPOND AND TAKES OFF. 19:03 GOING BACK TO THE WORD, EVEN THROUGH LIFE YOU KEEP FACING 19:08 DIFFERENT CHALLENGES THROUGH PERSONAL THINGS THAT WE GO 19:12 THROUGH IT'S ALWAYS GOING BACK TO THE WORD AND AS YOU 19:16 MENTIONED, GROUNDED THAT IDENTITY AND GOING A STEP 19:19 FURTHER, IF I COULD PIGGYBACK ON THIS A LITTLE BIT OR VEGGIE 19:26 BACK. I BELIEVE ALSO THAT PRAYER AND 19:32 THE WORD OBVIOUSLY IS FOUNDATIONAL BUT THEN PRACTICING 19:36 WHAT YOU STUDY AND COMMUNICATION AND TO PEOPLE CAN COMMUNICATE 19:43 BUT IF THERE'S NO ACTION BEHIND IT HOW ARE YOU LEARNING? 19:49 AND SO I THINK THAT WAS PART OF WHAT I KNOW FOR ME I WAS 19:52 STUDYING AND I WAS IN PRAYER BUT WHEN I STARTED SERVING IT REALLY 19:57 BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO LIFE. GOD WAS ABLE TO SPEAK TO ME MORE 20:02 CLEARLY WHAT I DO ALL THREE AS OPPOSED TO TWO. 20:09 >> I THINK OFTEN WE SAY THAT FAMOUS QUOTE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 20:15 AND I THINK KNOWLEDGE IS INFORMATION. 20:18 IT'S WHEN YOU APPLY THAT KNOWLEDGE. 20:21 THAT BECOMES POWER. >> THAT'S GOOD. 20:25 >> WISDOM IS APPLIED KNOWLEDGE. >> LET'S BACK UP. 20:32 OKAY, YOU ARE WORKING ON GETTING A ROADMAP I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO 20:38 DO SOMETHING. JUST A POOR BOY THE LORD IS 20:44 INSTRUCTING YOU WHAT YOU DO? YOU DON'T HAVE A TRAILER TO HAVE 20:48 GOOD CREDIT? NOPE YOU'RE JUST STARTING OFF IN 20:52 LIFE. REALLY THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE 20:54 WE HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE HERE THAT ARE WANTING A DIRECTION AND SO 21:01 OF ALL THINGS A TRAILER. OF ALL THINGS. 21:07 BY IT PERSONALLY I HAVE SEEN THESE TRAILERS AND O MY GOODNESS 21:15 GOODNESS. IT IS INGENIOUS AS FAR AS I AM 21:18 CONCERNED BECAUSE IT SERVES A CERTAIN NEED AND SO HOW DID THAT 21:26 I'LL START? >> IT'S FUNNY YOU MENTIONED IT 21:29 BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF CRAZY BECAUSE I BELIEVE MAY BE THERE 21:35 IS NO MONEY MAYBE THERE IS NO EXPERTISE MAYBE THERE IS NO 21:39 MENTOR SHIP BUT IF YOU JUST REMEMBER THE WAY THE HOMEBOUND 21:47 OUTREACH BEGINS IS TO WOMEN, 119, 123 AND THEY JUST COOKED 21:53 FOOD THEMSELVES AND THEY BROUGHT IT -- AND THEY FEED JUST TEN 21:58 PEOPLE. THAT IS WHERE THIS OUTREACH 22:01 STARTED AND THEN AFTER A FEW YEARS IT TURNED INTO HUNDREDS OF 22:04 PEOPLE FEEDING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE BIWEEKLY AND THEN IN 2016 22:08 WHEN WE START IT THAT WE START TO DO SURVEY TO GET TO KNOW THE 22:15 NEED AMONG THE UNSHELTERED THAT WE GET CREATIVE AND WE SAY OKAY 22:17 THIS IS THE NEED BUT WE CANNOT GET A BUILDING SO LET'S GET A 22:24 TRAILER SO WE GOT A CLOTHING TRAILER IN 2016 WE USED $4,000 22:29 FOR CARPENTERS TO BUILD THIS INSIDE THE TRAILER AND THAT'S 22:32 WHAT HAPPENED THERE AND THEN MORE SURVEYS. 22:35 I HAD NOT SHOWERED IN THREE MONTHS BUT I'M LOOKING FOR A 22:37 JOB. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND A JOB. 22:40 WE SAID HIGHLY PROVIDE SHOWERS? WE CAN'T GET AFFORDABILITY SO 22:45 LET'S RAISE $40,000 TO GET THE SHOWER TRAILER AND THAT IS HOW 22:49 THINGS PROGRESSED SLOWLY AND THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT IS THE CITY 22:58 OF ORLANDO WAS THE BIGGEST CITY. ONE OF THE BIGGEST THAT DID NOT 23:02 HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE DATA SERVICE CENTER FOR THE 23:04 UNSHELTERED AND UNKNOWINGLY TO US, AND JUST HEARING THE NEED 23:10 FROM THE UNSHELTERED NOT ONLY WERE THEY MEETING THEIR NEEDS 23:13 BUT THE NEEDS OF THE CITY WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT AND THAT 23:17 IS WHY IT ALL CAME TOGETHER IN THE CITY WAS SO SUPPORTIVE OF 23:20 THIS EFFORT WE STARTED TO LAUNCH ALL THE PROGRAMS. 23:28 >> WE HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS YOU WANT TO SHOW YOU BUT I WANT TO 23:32 SAY THIS ONE BECAUSE I IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE 23:36 KICKING OFF WHEN SOMEONE SAYS WE HAVE A SHOWER FOR YOU LET'S LOOK 23:43 AT THE VIDEO OF THIS BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING AND HER SOMEONE WHO 23:47 MAY NOT HAVE SHOWERED IN TWO TO THREE MONTHS THE BIGGEST 23:50 BLESSING YOU COULD IMAGINE. >> I AM WITH SALT OUTREACH AND 23:59 TODAY WE WILL LOOK AT THE CLOTHING TRAILER AND THE DAILY 24:03 SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE SO COME LONG PAIR >> LET'S TAKE THIS 24:09 JOURNEY.

SO SERVANT SERVICE PLUS LOVE 32:47 YOUR ACCEPTANCE YOU PUT THOSE TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE SOLVED. 32:51 -- SALT. WHAT OF A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF 32:56 WHAT SALT IS. >> IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU 33:00 MENTIONED MENTIONED ORLANDO HELPED FUND WHEN THEY WANTED UP 33:02 YOUR SERVICES DURING COVID A. THEY DID NOT PUT ANY 33:05 RESTRICTIONS ON THEM, THEY KNOW YOU ARE A FAITH-BASED MINISTRY 33:10 AND OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW YOU INTENTIONALLY INTRODUCE JESUS 33:17 YOU INTENTIONALLY MINISTER TO THE SPIRITUAL AS WELL AS THE 33:22 PHYSICAL AND AS THE OUTREACH PASTOR? 33:27 WHAT DO YOU DO? >> BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. 33:37 IT IS REDEFINING WHAT A PASTOR LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE I GET ALL THE 33:41 TIME AS WE TALK TO INDIVIDUALS LIKE YEP HE'S A PASTOR BUT THEN 33:46 THEY SEE ME GETTING OUT OF THE SHOWER SCRUBBING TOILETS OR 33:50 FOLDING CLOTHES AND DOING LAUNDRY OR JUST IN THE OUTREACH 33:55 JUST OUT THERE ON OUT THERE EVERY DAY AND BECAUSE THE MOTHER 33:58 EVERY DAY AND OUR FRIENDS BY NAME. 34:03 SITTING DOWN HERE HEARING THEIR STORIES AND BUILDING 34:07 RELATIONSHIPS AND TWO TIMES A MONTH WE PUT A WORSHIP SERVICE 34:11 TOGETHER TO GIVE THEM THIS EXPERIENCE WE BRING CHURCH TO 34:14 THEM AND BECAUSE WE DO THAT WE PLUG INTO ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF 34:19 CHURCHES IN ORLANDO. THIS MONTH THIS CHURCH DOES 34:24 WORSHIP THAN THE NEXT MONTH ANOTHER CHURCH DOES THE WORKSHOP 34:27 BUT BECAUSE I KNOW THE PEOPLE AND THE STORIES DAY IN AND DAY 34:31 OUT I'M ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THEM AND TALK TO THEM AND FOR ME THE 34:36 BIGGEST THING IT'S LITERALLY JUST BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND 34:39 LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE HEARD AND THAT THEY ARE SEEN AND 34:43 THAT THEY ARE CARED FOR BECAUSE MANY OF THEM SURPRISINGLY HAVE 34:47 THE BIBLE WITH THEM AND COULD PROBABLY OUT SCRIPTURE MOST 34:51 PEOPLE THAT I KNOW. LAST WEEK I WAS HAVING A 35:00 CONVERSATION ABOUT JON ONE AND HE BEGAN TO BREAK DOWN THE GREEK 35:02 FOR ME AND WITH THE LOGO'S MEANS AND WHAT IT MEANT FOR THE GREEKS 35:08 AND HOW IT'S UNDERSTOOD AND GREEK CONCEPTS AND HE BEGAN TO 35:13 EXPOUND ON IT AND QUOTE SCRIPTURE BY MEMORY AND I WAS 35:16 SITTING DOWN LIKE MAN THIS DUDE IS PRETTY MUCH LIKE A THEOLOGIAN 35:22 THEOLOGIAN. WHAT HE SAYING FOR THE MOST PART 35:24 IS ON THE MONEY. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS DAY IN 35:29 AND DAY OUT WITH THEM GIVES THEM THE AVENUE AND TO BRIDGE THESE 35:39 SUBSTANTIAL DEEP SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE A LOT OF 35:41 THEM ARE JADED BY CHURCH OR JADED BY CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS 35:48 ORGANIZATIONS. YET WE ARE CHRISTIAN SOME 35:50 ORGANIZATIONS YOU CAN STAY HERE BUT WERE FORCING YOU TO DO 35:53 SOMETHING IN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LIKE I'D RATHER BE IN THE STREET 35:58 THEN BE FORCED TO ANY CHURCH OR CONCEPT OF YOUR CHRIST ON ME. 36:03 SO A LOT OF THEM IS JUST BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. 36:08 NOT JUST WITH STAFF BUT WITH VOLUNTEERS AND ALSO OUR 36:13 HOMEBOUND FRIENDS. ALSO REDEFINING WITH A PASTOR 36:16 LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE I'M NOT IN OUT THERE AND JUST A T-SHIRT AND 36:22 JEANS AND REALLY AT THE FOREFRONT I AM SERVING AND IT'S 36:25 BEEN REDEFINING WHAT CHURCH IS BECAUSE THAT IS CHURCH AS WELL. 36:30 >> WHAT EXCITES ME IS THAT YOU HAVE THIS MINISTRY RUN BY ALL 36:36 YOUNG PEOPLE. DO YOU HAD A STAFF OF YOUNG 36:40 PEOPLE IN THIS IS PART OF YOUR THE MINISTRY IS TO GIVE THE 36:46 YOUNG PEOPLE SOMETHING TO DO AND I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT TODD 36:52 SAID BEFORE BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPACTFUL. 36:57 WE WERE GIVING A YOUNG LADY A RIDE. 37:07 SHE ENDED UP LITERALLY SITTING ON TOP OF THE LUGGAGE BECAUSE 37:11 HER CAR WAS FULL. I LOOK BACK AT HER DURING THE 37:15 TRIP AND I SAID HOW DO WE KEEP THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH? 37:21 SHE DID NOT BRAND BLINK OR TAKE A BREATH SHE SAID GIVE US 37:25 SOMETHING TO DO. IF WE ARE COMING CHURCH AND YOU 37:29 ARE NOT USING US IN A SERVICE SHE SAYS THAT IS WHY YOUNG 37:35 PEOPLE LEAVE. IT'S THE WHOLE IDEA OF WHAT YOU 37:40 SAID, THE THREE THREE-LEGGED STOOL, THERE IS THE WORD, 37:45 PRAYER, AND SERVICE, AND THAT IS WHAT GIVES YOU A STABLE 37:49 CHRISTIAN LIFE. >> EXACTLY. 37:51 AND I THINK THE AMAZING THING AND WE SEEING GOD WORK IN 37:56 DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE ORGANIZATION NOT JUST WITH OUR 37:58 CLIENTS BUT AT ONE POINT WE HAD 40 VOLUNTEER LEADERS BACK A FEW 38:03 YEARS AGO AND HALF OF THEM WERE BACKSLID ADVENTIST YOUNG ADULTS 38:07 WHO CAME BACK INTO THE CHURCH THROUGH VOLUNTEERING AND BEING A 38:11 PART OF THE MINISTRY. IT WAS LIKE A DRIVING FORCE OF 38:15 GOING BACK CHURCH AND SEEING THAT HEY THERE IS SOMETHING FOR 38:18 ME TOO DO HERE. THERE IS MEANINGFUL SERVICE 38:22 BEING DONE IN OUR CHURCH AND SO THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT HAS 38:29 REALLY BEEN KEY AND WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THAT HAPPENING. 38:32 >> I THINK YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE PURPOSE. 38:35 >> SURE. >> YOU FEEL YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE 38:45 SOMETHING AND IT'S MEANINGFUL. >> AS TIME GOES BY I GUESS IT'S 38:50 JUST SURVIVING LIFE ITSELF YOU KNOW IT IS A BUT MANY TIMES YOU 38:55 REALLY DON'T HAVE A PURPOSE YOU'RE JUST GETTING UP IN THE 38:57 MORNING AND GOING TO THE RITUALS AND GETTING UP AND SAYING THE 39:04 PRAYER AND GET UP IN THE MORNING AND START ALL OVER AGAIN AND 39:06 THEN AS I GET OLDER AND I'M SPEAKING FOR BOTH OF US, WE ARE 39:10 BEGINNING TO SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF PURPOSE. 39:23 AT MY AGE A DAILY SOMEONE SAYS WHEN YOU GOING TO RETIRE? 39:25 I GUESS IT IS A GRAY HAIR AND WRINKLES. 39:29 I HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT RETIRING. 39:33 I'VE EVER BEEN AS SATISFYING IN MY WHOLE LIFE AS I AM RIGHT NOW. 39:39 I'M GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS. PATIENTS. 39:44 WE HAVE PURPOSE TOGETHER TO GET UP IN THE MORNING. 39:49 DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE 70s TO REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT PURPOSE IS 39:53 THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU PUT WITH THIS. 39:56 OPEN IT IT UP AND READ IT AND SEE WITH THE LORD IS TALKING TO 40:00 ABOUT AND THEN BRING UP THE WORD PURPOSE. 40:03 MAYBE WE FIND OUT THAT 20 -YEAR-OLDS PROBABLY NEED A 40:06 PURPOSE ALSO. >> THAT IS WHERE SERVICE COMES. 40:10 THAT HIS PURPOSE. >> ONE THING I WANT TO ADD IS IT 40:22 HAS BEEN A FULL BLESSING FOR THIS ORGANIZATION FOR THE YOUNG 40:26 ADULT THIS GOES IN LINE TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 40:33 THEY LOVE AT THIS ORGANIZATION HAS DONE SO MUCH THEY STARTED 40:36 CHAPTER AT THE UNIVERSITY CALLED SALT OUTREACH AT UC N AND 40:42 THEY'RE LED BY DIFFERENT YOUNG ADULTS IN THAT AREA. 40:55 THERE LED BY US BUT SOME OF THEM DON'T EVEN NECESSARILY IDENTIFY 40:57 AS CHRISTIAN BUT THEY WANT TO BE INVOLVED AND THEY WANT TO HELP 40:58 AND SO THERE IS A LEADERSHIP TEAM OF EIGHT AND A FINAL UCF 41:01 STUDENTS TO THE OUTREACH TO VOLUNTEER. 41:04 WE HAVE TWO TO THREE PEOPLE THAT VOLUNTEER FROM UCF EVERY DAY 41:08 THAT WERE OUT THERE. >> I AM ASSUMING THAT UCF IS IN 41:13 ORLANDO? >> YEP IT IS RIGHT IN ORLANDO. 41:16 >> I WILL TELL YOU BECAUSE I SAID THIS LAST TIME BUT WHAT YOU 41:21 ARE DOING I JUST BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART THAT GOD IS 41:26 GOING TO START MULTIPLYING WITH CHAPTERS IN OTHER CITIES AND WE 41:30 HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SHARE WITH YOU. 41:34 BUT I WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT FOR JUST A MOMENT, IT WAS ALL 41:39 VOLUNTEER UNTIL COVID HIT. YOU WENT FROM SERVING THREE 41:45 TIMES A WEEK TO TELL US HOW MANY HOURS ARE OPERATING NOW AND WHAT 41:52 YOU'RE DOING? >> WE STARTED OPERATING THREE 41:55 TIMES A MONTH IN THE BEGINNING OF 2020 AND THEN WHEN COVID HIT 42:01 AND WHERE I SAY THIS IS A US THEY DON'T PROVIDE ALL THE 42:04 FUNDING WE NEED TO DO BUT WE'RE PUTTING IN A LITTLE ABOUT HALF 42:10 AND THEY ARE DOING ABOUT HALF BUT WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON GOD TO 42:13 HELP PROVIDE THAT. THE OTHER FUNDING. 42:17 BUT THEY COME IN AND HELP US OPERATE IN 2020 AND THEN NOW 42:23 NEAR THE END OF 2020 WE OPERATE ABOUT SIX HOURS A DAY. 42:34 THE CITY IS SO SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING STILL THAT TWO 42:39 WEEKS AGO THEY ANNOUNCED EXTRA FUNDING THAT WILL HELP US TO GO 42:42 SIX DAYS A WEEK EIGHT HOURS A DAY. 42:46 THAT WILL START IN TWO WEEKS. THAT'S NOT JUST OUTREACH FOR 42:52 CASE MANAGEMENT AS WELL AND I BROUGHT PICTURE OF OUR CASE 42:57 MANAGERS. THEY ARE LEADING OUR CASE 43:00 MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WHICH WE LAUNCH THE BEGINNING OF 2021. 43:03 >> WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES? >> RENEE AND LESLIE. 43:08 RENEE IS A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER AND LESLIE IS A 43:12 MASTERS LEVEL SOCIAL WORKER AND THEY HELP SPEARHEAD THE CASE 43:15 MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE SOCIAL WORK INTERNS COME 43:19 FROM THE UNIVERSITY. WE HAD SIX IN THE AND WE WILL 43:23 HAVE ANOTHER PROBABLY TOTAL TEN IN THE FALL OF THIS YEAR AND 43:28 WHEN THEY ARE ALL JUST ASSESSING NEED AND GETTING THEM ONTO THE 43:33 NEXT STEP TO ENDING THEIR HOMELESSNESS THAT IS THE GOAL IS 43:36 WE BRING THEM IN WITH THE BASIC OUTREACH NEEDS AND THEN WE HAVE 43:40 A CASE MANAGERS TAKE THEM ON THAT JOURNEY AND MAKE A PLAN 43:42 WITH THEM. >> YOU RECENTLY LAUNCHED, TO ME 43:47 IT'S AMAZING YOU HAVE THE CLOSING TRAILER AND SHOWER 43:53 TRAILER BUT YOU RECENTLY LAUNCHED A LAUNDRY TRAILER. 43:59 >> YEP. I WANT TO ADD ONE MORE THING TO 44:01 WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE UCF STUDENTS. 44:06 A LOT OF THEM EITHER DON'T HAVE RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND AND SOME OF 44:10 THEM ARE CHRISTIAN BUT IT'S AN AMAZING TO GET TO KNOW THEM AND 44:16 ALSO TO REDEFINE WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS FOR MOST OF 44:23 THEM. I GOT TO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO 44:26 SIT DOWN AND SPEAK AND TALK WITH THEM AND WORK WITH THEM. 44:31 AMAZING BRILLIANT BRIGHT INDIVIDUALS. 44:32 AND IN THE PROCESS I THINK ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS I 44:35 HEARD FROM ONE OF THEM AS WE WORK TOGETHER WHERE SHE WAS LIKE 44:39 MY EXPERIENCE WITH CHRISTIANITY IN THE WAY THAT YOU GUYS VIEW 44:43 GOD REALLY IS ATTRACTIVE. COMPARED TO WHAT I LEARNED 44:48 GROWING UP. AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE STARK 44:53 CONTRAST ALMOST. A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE 44:56 SERVICE. YOU ARE ACTUALLY LIVING OUT THE 45:01 WORDS OF CHRIST AND APPLYING THEM IT'S A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE 45:05 MEETING INDIVIDUALS AND SEEING AND INTERACTING WITH THEM. 45:07 I HAVE INTERACTED WITH SOME THAT DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD AND THAT'S 45:10 COOL AND WE TALK AND YOU KNOW ONE OF THEM SHARED SOMETHING 45:15 ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY AND THEY ARE STUDYING TO BE DOCTOR AND 45:19 SOMETHING THEY YEAR THAT WAS AMAZING BUT THE HUMAN BODY AND 45:22 THEY TOOK IT AND ADAPTED IT TO A LIFE APPLICATION AND HE WAS LIKE 45:27 I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT WAY AND JUST THAT SMALL LITTLE 45:32 INTERACTION YOU KNOW REALLY IS ENOUGH. 45:36 IT'S LIKE PLANTING SEEDS. IT'S TRULY AMAZING THE 45:41 INTERACTION WITH THEM. AND GOING INTO THE LAUNDRY 45:46 TAYLOR -- WAS -- TRAILER IS AMAZING. 45:52 THE CITY RECOGNIZED IT WE HAD THE MAYOR. 45:55 >> EVEN GIVE YOUR PROCLAMATION. >> YES TO GIVE IT A 46:00 PROCLAMATION. NOW IT IS CONSIDERED SERVICE AND 46:04 LOVE THAT'S A PROCLAMATION. >> SO ACTUALLY THEY ARE SAYING 46:08 THAT EVERY DAY -- EVERY YEAR APRIL 15th. 46:15 >> IT WAS A BIG CEREMONY WITH CAMERAS AND RIBBON CLIMBING -- 46:24 CUTTING. >> INCREDIBLE. 46:26 >> WE HAVE OUR INTERNS AND OUR STAFF AND OUR SECURITY GUARD AND 46:29 OTHER PEOPLE VOLUNTEERING AND WE HAVE THAT NEW STORY THERE ARE 46:38 NEWS CAMERAS THAT DID SOME RECORDING OUT THERE AND WE CAN 46:41 PLAY THAT AS WELL. >> WHAT DO THAT AS WELL AND WE 46:45 WILL SAVE THE LAST VIDEO FOR NEXT HOUR BUT LET'S LOOK AT THIS 46:48 THIS. >> TODAY IS NATIONAL LAUNDRY DAY 46:54 DAY. >> I HAD NO IDEA BUT THE CITY OF 46:57 ORLANDO ORLANDO IS CELEBRATING BY LAUNCHING A NEW FIRST OF IT'S 47:00 KIND MOBILE LAUNDRY SERVICE FOR THE HOMELESS. 47:21 TAKE THIS LAUNDRY TRAILER IS A NEW ADDITION TO OTHER FREE 47:25 SERVICES LIKE A PORTABLE SHOWER TRAILER WITH SPACE FOR HAIRCUTS. 47:28 >> IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT TAKING A SHOWER DOESN'T MAKE GOOD 47:36 HYGIENE SENSE. >> THEY PARTNER WITH SALT WHICH 47:42 STANDS FOR SERVICE ABOVE TOGETHER AS WELL IS SIMPLY 47:44 HEALTHCARE TO BRING THE TRAILER TO SHELTERS FOUR DAYS A WEEK. 47:48 OFFICIALS ESTIMATE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO COMPLETE 240 LOADS OF 47:51 LAUNDRY PER WEEK. IT'S ALL PART OF THE CITY'S 47:54 EFFORTS TO ENSURE EVERY RESIDENT HAS THEIR BASIC NEEDS OF 47:57 CLOTHING FOOD AND HYGIENE MATT. >> AS A WE WORK AND TRY TO FIND 48:03 WAYS TO END HOMELESSNESS WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING IN 48:10 THE INTERIM. TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR HOMELESS 48:16 RESIDENTS HERE IN THIS CITY OF ORLANDO KNOW THAT THEY AND NOT 48:23 FORGOTTEN. WE WANT TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE 48:24 DO NOT JUST PASS BY AND SEE A SHADOW WE SEE THEM. 48:32 >> WILL MOST PEOPLE SEE LAUNDRY AS A CHORE TODAY A NATIONAL 48:36 LAUNDRY DAY THERE IS REASON TO CELEBRATE THIS NEW AMENITY IN A 48:39 CITY THAT WILL HELP OUR NEIGHBORS WITHOUT A HOME HAVE 48:42 ONE LESS THING TO. >> AMAZING. 48:50 WHO WOULD EVER EVEN THINK ABOUT HAVING ESTATE LAUNDRY DAY. 48:57 >> YOU LOOK AT YOUR BABY THAT YOU BIRTHED AND HERE WE ARE 49:01 THESE YEARS LATER IS IN. -- IT CONTINUES TO GROW. 49:09 >> WE ARE SO SPOILED AND I REMEMBER ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO 49:13 WE HAD A LIGHTNING STRIKE REALLY CLOSE TO OUR HOME AND THESE 49:21 WASHING MACHINES ARE SO COMPUTERIZED NOW WELL IT FRIED 49:24 THE MOTHERBOARD AND LIVING WHERE WE LIVE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF 49:29 NOWHERE IT TOOK ALMOST TWO WEEKS TO GET A TECHNICIAN TO THE HOUSE 49:34 AND TO DO LIKE A $900 REPAIR. COULD BOUGHT A NEW WASHING 49:41 MACHINE BUT THE POINT IS THAT THAT WAS A MISERABLE TWO WEEKS 49:48 AND THE THOUGHT OF AS THE MAYOR SAID, IF YOU ARE -- SOMEONE CAN 49:53 GIVE YOU NEW CLOSE BUT IF YOU CAN'T TAKE A SHOWER IT'S NOT 49:56 GOOD HYGIENE TO JUST PUT CLEAN CLOTHES ON A DIRTY BODY AND THEN 50:01 THEY HAVE SOME CLOTHES AND THEY JUST HAVE TO KEEP WEARING THEM 50:04 UNLESS THEY CAN GO TO THE LAUNDRY. 50:10 THAT'S SO AMAZING. >> PRAISE GOD. 50:12 IT WAS TOTALLY GOT INSPIRED. AND IT IT HAPPENED WITH JUST GOD 50:18 INSPIRING US TO JUST TALK TO THEM AND GET TO KNOW THEM. 50:22 I SAID AS ALL THE TIME BUT I THINK A LOT OF THE TIME WE GUESS 50:25 OR ASSUME WITH THE NEED IS OF SOMEONE THAT IS UNSHELTERED BUT 50:32 BUT IF WE JUST GO AND TALK TO THEM AND HAVE A CONVERSATION AND 50:37 HAVE A SURVEY THEN GOD LEADS THE WAY AND YOU'LL ACTUALLY MEET IN 50:42 NEED THAT'S ACTUALLY NEEDED AND NOT SOMETHING THAT THE 50:46 DUPLICATED OR IS NOT NEEDED. >> I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ORLANDO. 50:55 IS THERE A BLOCK? IS THIS A SET UP? 50:57 YOUR MOBILE BUT DO YOU STAY IN ONE PLACE FOR THREE TO SIX 51:01 MONTHS OR TWO WEEKS AND THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE? 51:04 HOW DOES IT WORK? >> WE USED TO ROTATE AROUND BUT 51:09 NOW WE HAVE RECENTLY FOUND A HOME. 51:13 >> THERE IS THE CHRISTIAN SERVICE CENTER THAT HOUSES US 51:17 AND THEY LET US PARK OUR TRAILER THERE AND STAY THERE AND OPERATE 51:20 FROM THERE. TO THE POINT THERE WHERE I THINK 51:24 WE GENERATE SO MUCH TRAFFIC AND PEOPLE COME IN WITH A BUILDING 51:29 THAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY OPERATES FROM BUT THE GOAL IS TO ALWAYS 51:35 EXPAND. THAT'S THE GOAL. 51:37 >> AMEN. >> WHEN YOU SAY EXPAND, MAYBE GO 51:43 TO DALLAS? OR MAYBE GO? 51:48 >> EVERY CITY NEEDS IT. >> THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN BY 51:51 EXPAND. >> IF A DUPLICATABLE MODEL. 51:58 260,300,000 CAN GET ALL THE TRAILERS NEEDED TO GET THIS 52:00 HAPPEN AND THEN ALL FROM THERE ALL YOU NEED IS PEOPLE TO DONATE 52:05 SUPPLIES OR PUT THE MONEY TOWARD SUPPLIES AND THEN HAVE STAFF AND 52:09 THEN IT'S RUNNING ANYWHERE. ACTUALLY WE ARE IN THE PIPELINE 52:13 RIGHT NOW WITH THE TWO CITIES THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND 52:17 TO. WE HAVE CEOS OF ORGANIZATIONS 52:21 AND COMPANIES AND CITY OFFICIALS FROM OTHER CITIES THAT SAY I 52:24 WANT TO THIS IN MY CITY AND SO WE ARE KEEPING IT IN PRAYER AND 52:30 IF IT GOES THROUGH WE WILL BE INTO OTHER CITIES BY THE END OF 52:32 THIS YEAR. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 52:40 THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL BEGINNINGS BECAUSE 52:44 GOD HAS MORE. QUICKLY, TO TAKE US TO THE END 52:47 OF OUR BECAUSE YOU WILL COME BACK AND SHOW YOU KNOW THE 52:52 LAUNDRY TRAILER AND GET A BUT WE HAVE SOME INCREDIBLE TESTIMONIES 52:57 OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AMONG THE PEOPLE AS FAR AS THEIR SPIRITUAL 53:03 NEEDS TO TELL US A BRIEFLY WHAT -- WE HAVE FOUR MINUTES, BUT 53:07 TELL US HOW DID COVID CHANGE THE POPULATION OF THOSE WHO WERE 53:17 UNSHELTERED? >> IN 2020 -- IN 2020 WE SERVED 53:25 1500 UNIQUE UNDUPLICATED PERSONS WITH ABOUT 30,000 UNITS OF 53:29 SERVICE AND WE FOUND THAT 20 PERCENT OF THEM WERE NEW TO 53:34 HOMELESSNESS AND MANY OF THEM IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM THEY 53:38 WOULD SAY THAT IT WAS COVID IN 19 THAT LED TO THEIR HOME 53:41 HOMELESSNESS. WE HAD A YOUNG GUY THAT WORKED 53:43 AT UNIVERSAL AND TO WITH ROOMMATES AND COULD NOT PAY RENT 53:48 AND HE'S LIVING IN HIS CAR NOW. ANOTHER MOTHER WHO DIDN'T HAVE A 53:52 GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HER KIDS WORKING A JOB COULDN'T PAY HER 53:57 RENT IS LIVING IN A CAR NOW. IT'S CRAZY. 54:01 I BELIEVE THAT AFTER THIS PANDEMIC THERE WILL BE A 54:05 PANDEMIC OF HOMELESSNESS THAT WILL FOLLOW AND IT'S ONLY A 54:08 MATTER OF TIME AND THE SO WE ARE -- LAST YEAR ACTUALLY WE -- I 54:13 WILL SHARE WITH YOU THE OUTCOME OF ALL OF THESE SERVICES AND HOW 54:17 IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE BUT 30 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE WE 54:21 SERVE ACTUALLY TOOK THE NEXT STEP TO END THEIR HOMELESSNESS 54:25 AFTER SERVICES WITH US THROUGH A COORDINATED COMMUNITY EFFORT AND 54:28 17 PERCENT TRANSITION TO SHELTERED HOUSING AFTER SERVICE 54:32 IS WITH US THROUGH A COORDINATED COMMUNITY EFFORT AND I THINK 54:35 THOSE ARE THE KIND OF WANTS TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND WHY THEY 54:41 ARE TRYING TO EXPAND OUR DAYS AND OUR HOURS. 54:52 >> I HAVE HAD THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS WHERE 54:57 LITERALLY THEY YOU TELL ME LIKE I AM NEW TO THIS AND I DON'T 55:00 EVEN KNOW. THEY'RE COMING FOR SERVICES AND 55:03 THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO GO OR WHERE TO START THE FIRST TIME 55:09 AND IT'S A CONVERSATION. IT HAS EXPANDED COULD YOU THINK 55:13 OF SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A HOME OR IS IN THE STREETS AND 55:16 YOU THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF X Y Z WHAT HAS TO BE A CERTAIN KIND OF 55:21 ADDICTION AND FOR MANY IT'S NOT IT REALLY IS NOT. 55:24 IT IS JUST A GUY TWO WEEKS AGO LET ME KNOW AND THEN COVID CAME 55:29 IN AND THERE WENT TO WORK AND THEY WANT THE HOME NOW I'M HERE. 55:34 >> YOU HEAR ALL THESE RESTAURANTS ARE CLOSING DOWN. 55:39 ALL THIS STUFF HAPPENS. >> WE ARE GETTING PRAYER 55:48 REQUESTS FOR PEOPLE TO -- ARE WORKING ON PRAYER REQUEST OTHER 55:51 DAY AND THIS LADY WROTE IN AND SAID I -- BECAUSE OF COPE IN 19 55:57 I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO WORK ALL LAST YEAR AND NOW THAT THEY HAVE 56:02 HAVE LIFTED THE MORATORIUM SHE SAID I'M ABOUT TO BE EVICTED 56:06 PLEASE PRAY THAT MY LANDLORD WILL HAVE I WAS TALKING WITH 56:13 SOMEONE WHO IS A LANDLORD AND HE SAID I WILL LOSE MY PROPERTY IF 56:18 I DON'T GET PAYING RENTERS AND THERE AND SO THERE IS GOING TO 56:26 BE A CASCADING DOWNWARD TREND I BELIEVE AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE 56:32 GOING TO DO IS WE ARE GETTING READY TO HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK 56:36 AND BUT WHEN WE COME BACK WE WILL TAKE YOU THREE THROUGH THE 56:43 LAUNDRY TRUCK AND THE TRAILER AND THEY HAVE SOME VIDEO -- I'M 56:48 SORRY THE LAUNDRY TRAILER IN YOUR NEW THING BUT WE WANT YOU 56:54 TO HEAR THE STORIES OF THE PEOPLE AND THE SERVICES THAT 56:59 THEY ARE OFFERING AND HOW THEY TAKE THEM FROM BEING HOME LESS 57:04 TWO HOMEBOUND BOUND. IT IS TO GIVE SOMEONE HELP. 57:10 IT'S ONE AND HAVE THIS MOMENT BUT I MADE IT IS THE SUPPORTING 57:16 SERVICES THAT ARE GETTING PEOPLE OFF OF THE STREET FROM -- SOME 57:21 AT THE SHELTER AND SOME INTO JOBS AND SOME ARE ENDING THEIR 57:27 HOMELESSNESS IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. 57:31 >> WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS SERVICE AND LOVE TOGETHER. 57:37 NOT JUST ONE BY ITSELF. >> IT TO JESUS' WAY OF MINISTRY. 57:43 YOU WILL WANT TO HEAR WHAT'S COMING UP. |
